Successful Reversal of Chronic Incapacitating Post‐TIPS Encephalopathy by Balloon Occlusion of the Stent

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 75-80, 1994., 1994
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement is a new technique allowing decompression of the portal system without the need for abdominal surgery or general anesthetic. This promising procedure appears safe, and is being evaluated in the context of life threatening uncontrollable variceal hemorrhage as well as ascites refractory to ...

Liver arterialization prevents thrombocytopenia after portacaval shunt in rats

, 1987
A low platelet count is a common finding in liver cirrhosis. Clinical practice has shown that a variable number of cirrhotic patients in whom portasystemic shunting procedures have been performed does not recover from thrombocytopenia: this observation ...

Selective Variceal Decompression: Current Status

HPB Surgery, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 1-15, 1991., 1991
Since its introduction into clinical practice in 1967, selective variceal decompression by means of a distal splenorenal shunt (DSRS) has become one of the more commonly performed portal‐systemic shunting procedures in the treatment of variceal hemorrhage throughout the world. In addition to selective decompression of gastroesophageal varices, the DSRS

Emergency Portasystemic Shunting in Cirrhotics With Bleeding Varices — A Comparison of Portacaval and Mesocaval Shunts [PDF]

HPB Surgery, 1988
Despite the best conservative measures available for the control of major variceal hemorrhage, some patients either continue to bleed, or rebleed early, and require emergency surgery. One hundred patients with cirrhosis and uncontrolled bleeding were treated with emergency portasystemic shunts between 1968 and 1983. Fifty eight patients had end‐to‐side

Liver cirrhosis and antibiotic therapy but not TIPS application leads to a shift of the intestinal bacterial communities: A controlled, prospective study

Journal of Digestive Diseases, Volume 25, Issue 3, Page 200-208, March 2024.
The gut–liver axis is discussed to play an important role in hepatic cirrhosis. Decompensated liver cirrhosis is often associated with portal hypertension, which can lead to a variety of complications. The application of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an established treatment option for the complications of portal hypertension.

Biliary Stricture Following Hepatic Resection

HPB Surgery, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 181-191, 1991., 1990
Anatomic distortion and displacement of hilar structures due to liver lobe atrophy and hypertrophy occasionally complicates the surgical approach for biliary stricture repair. Benign biliary stricture following hepatic resection deserves special consideration in this regard because the inevitable hypertrophy of the residual liver causes marked rotation

Rescue therapy for bleeding ectopic ileal varices with a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and antegrade variceal embolization

International Journal of Gastrointestinal Intervention
Portal hypertension, a known complication of liver cirrhosis, typically leads to variceal bleeding in the esophagus and stomach. However, ectopic varices can also occur outside the gastroesophageal region and may present with life-threatening massive ...
